The following article contains spoilers from the episode of Emmerdale dated April 10. It hasn’t aired on ITV1 yet, but can be viewed on ITVX and YouTube.

It’s taken her way longer than I expected, but Emmerdale’s Dawn Taylor (Olivia Bromley) is finally beginning to see Joe Tate (Ned Porteous) for who he really is.

Dawn was waved a giant red flag last year when she discovered that Joe was responsible for the limo crash, which killed three women. She was utterly horrified that she had let her children around this man and yet still…she didn’t leave him.

Staggering I know.

The couple are now engaged, and Dawn recently made it clear to Joe that she’d like to have a baby with him. Their journey so far this year has been great for Joe – he lives in a big house, has a family, and is gaining access to more farmland and money through totally vile means that Dawn is oblivious to. He has lots of power – but that’s now starting to go to his head.

As part of Joe’s plan to gain access to Butler’s, he blackmailed Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley) into planting some ID cards found on Celia’s farmland. Joe had obtained footage of Victoria Sugden (Isabel Hodgins) killing her brother John earlier in the year, and told Robert that he’d take it to the police if he didn’t do as he was asked.

Robert hid the passports, but had no idea that they were stolen by a woman responsible for such horror. He’s been well aware that he’s one of the reasons Moira Dingle (Natalie J Robb) is in prison, but kept it to himself to protect Victoria.

When Robert learnt about Moira’s plan to plead guilty at the hearing, he felt horrendous. He headed to Home Farm and asked Joe if there was anything they could do, but that poisonous power and greed led him to basically ignore everything Robert was saying.

Robert decided to try and bring Joe down a peg or two in today’s episode, and enlisted help from Ross Barton (Michael Parr). Just like his Director of Operations job, Ross wasn’t very good at helping Robert, so he was forced to sort everything himself.

Robert attempted to get into Joe’s computer to access the video of Vic, but was caught by Dawn. He tried to cover, but Dawn ended up finding the video.

It was at this point another red flag appeared in front of her face only this time, Dawn actually acknowledged it was there. She confronted Joe about the video, and then deleted it from his device. Dawn was totally disgusted and told Joe that it feels like she doesn’t know him anymore.

Joe claimed that he kept the video for insurance purposes, and everything he did after was for his and Dawn’s family. In the past, these types of comments from Joe would’ve been enough to win Dawn over – but not this time.

She packed a bag and left Home Farm, telling Joe that she’d be spending the night at Billy Fletcher’s (Jay Kontzle).

Joe was left standing all alone in Home Farm, somewhat shocked that things had escalated so badly. We now know that Olivia Bromley will leave her role as Dawn Taylor this year, suggesting things with Joe aren’t going to get back on track.

Will Dawn simply leave Emmerdale?

Or will Joe take action to prevent her from telling anyone else about his grim moves?

Things got a little awkward, although very funny for Adam Thomas recently, after he found himself in what he described as a ‘very difficult’ situation involving his brother’s girlfriend.

The former Emmerdale star shared the story on the brothers’ podcast, ‘At Home With The Thomas Bros’, where nothing is off limits and embarrassing family moments are very much fair game.

Chatting alongside his brothers Ryan Thomas and Scott Thomas, Adam admitted he was left completely flustered after unexpectedly walking into Scott’s house.

According to Adam, he had popped round casually, not realising Scott’s girlfriend, pro dancer Lauren Kingsman, was there. And when he walked in, he got a bit more of a surprise than he bargained for.

‘I didn’t know Lauren was there,’ he explained, already cringing at the memory. ‘So I’ve walked in, and she’s all nonchalant in these jogging bottoms and this bikini top…’

Scott quickly jumped in to correct him, laughing, ‘sports bra.’

But the damage was already done.

Adam went on to admit that he didn’t quite know where to look as Lauren tried to chat with him. ‘She was trying to have a conversation with me and for a guy, my natural instinct was just to…’ he said, gesturing to his eyes while his brothers burst out laughing.

It didn’t take long for Ryan to wind him up either, joking: ‘So what you’re telling me is that you fancy your brother’s girlfriend?’

Adam was quick to shut that down. ‘No! It was just a… very difficult situation,’ he insisted. ‘She’s trying to have a conversation with me and I’m just sweating and I need to go. I just need to go.’

Safe to say, he didn’t stick around long.

The brothers’ podcast has become a go-to for fans who love hearing their unfiltered chats. Meanwhile, Scott and Lauren’s relationship has been going strong since they made things official on New Year’s Eve 2025. The couple first went public after Scott’s stint on Love Island All Stars, which came nearly a decade after he first rose to fame on Love Island.

Since then, Scott has been open about how much Lauren means to him, especially during a difficult time in his life following the loss of his beloved dog, Juno.

Sharing an emotional tribute at the time, Scott revealed he felt the timing of meeting Lauren brought him a sense of comfort. He described his pet as his ‘whole entire life’ and said he believed everything happened when it was meant to.

‘I really do believe in divine timing,’ he said, explaining how Lauren had been there to support him when he needed it most.

Lauren has also already met the wider Thomas family, after joining them for New Year’s celebrations, and it sounds like she’s passed the test. Ryan, who is in a relationship with Lucy Mecklenburgh, reportedly gave the relationship his seal of approval.

As for Adam, he might need a bit more time to recover from that first encounter. It’s a conversation only brothers could have and get away with. The trio are known for pulling each other’s legs, but they don’t shy away from opening up about the more serious subjects on their show either.

But at least he can laugh about it now, even if he did make a very quick exit at the time.

As EastEnders viewers prepared to welcome back the Mitchell Princess, Sam (Kim Medcalf), last year, they were probably expecting another does of her patented blend of sex, criminal capers and shoddy parenting.

Even with the pre-return announcement that Sam’s return would involve a cancer plot, the shock of the perennially devilish diva returning as a frightened, vulnerable shell of her former self was a shock.

While she initially took her typically chaotic approach to things, cruelly manipulating the dementia suffering-Nigel Bates (Paul Bradley) and stealing the contents of big brother, Phil’s (Steve McFadden) safe, it was in the presence of her son, Ricky Branning (Frankie Day), that she began to waver.

Young Ricky could tell something was wrong when she told him that she was trying to secure him a nest-egg to help with his future. As she lamented her failings as a mother, Ricky was left unnerved.

Confronted by baby daddy Jack (Scott Maslen) and Phil, Sam’s front faltered, and it became incredibly apparent how terrified she truly was that she’d lose her life to the same illness that claimed her beloved mum, Peggy Mitchell (Barbara Windsor).

With the support of Phil, Jack and various other Walford residents, Sam found the courage to fight back. Once officially diagnosed with breast cancer, she received a date for her lumpectomy and told Ricky the truth about her condition.

Sam faced an agonising wait for her results, but they came, and in the middle of a verbal catfight with frenemy and former co-conspirator, Chrissie Watts (Tracy-Ann Oberman), she revealed that she was cancer free.

As she faced a return to Portugal to begin a gruelling course of radiotherapy, she learned from Lily Slater (Lillia Turner) that Ricky desperately wanted her to stay and Sam had a moment to take everything in.

A character always defined by her utter selfishness and single-minded focus on herself had grown to become a loving, dependable mum, a supportive sister and a confidante to Zack Hudson (James Farrar), George Knight (Colin Salmon), Julie Bates (Karen Henthorn) and even former enemies like Chrissie, Kat Moon (Jessie Wallace) and Zoe Slater (Michelle Ryan)…and she decided to stay, beginning her radiotherapy treatment, leaning on Alfie Moon (Shane Richie) as it took both a physical and emotional toll on her.

Next week sees her resume her role as support system for Zack, as he struggles with the upcoming wedding between Ross Marshall (Alex Walkinshaw) and Vicki Fowler (Alice Haig), with whom he’s been fighting a growing attraction.

As the respective stag and hen parties begin, Zack opens his heart to Sam, and tells her of his recent tryst with Vicki, as well as the undeniable connection between them, moments before he’s forced to act as a stripper for her…

The following day, Zack lays it on the line for Vicki, who rejects him. He heads to Harry’s Barn to sink a few drinks before he’s joined by Sam. As the two engage in another heart to heart, she reveals that further tests have shown that she remains all clear for cancer.

This article contains spoilers for tonight’s (April 6) episode of Coronation Street, which has not yet aired on TV but is available to watch now on YouTube and ITVX.

If there’s one thing that not a single Corrie fan doubts, it’s that Ronnie Bailey’s (Vinta Morgan) will to look after Debbie Webster (Sue Devaney) is simply unshakeable. Another undisputed fact among Weatherfield faithful is that Carl Webster (Jonathan Howard) can not be trusted.

Ever.

It didn’t take Carl long after Debbie was released from the clink, for a crime that he committed, mind you, for him to resume his campaign to extract as much cash from her as possible.

Visiting her inside and perennially on the beg, the guilt Debbie felt for giving her son away at birth and only recently admitting all to him, led to much money being handed over as she desperately tried to make everything better, but her hope was false.

Carl had almost no interest in building a relationship with his sister-turned-mum – he wanted a cash injection and to be on his way.

Debbie was finally set free yesterday, but had her nearest and dearest panicked when she promptly disappeared. With her dementia ever-worsening, Ronnie and brother Kevin Webster (Michael Le Vell) were terrified.

As it turned out, though, Debbie was completely fine, and had taken herself off for a cheeky swing at the precinct. As she seemingly slipped into confusion, though, Carl approached, and she admitted she was playing, managing to talk an ice cream out of him.

Retiring to her flat, Carl and Debbie seemingly began to bond on a very real level, with Carl’s tough-as-nails exterior beginning to crack as he showed real guilt for what he’d put her through, delivering a genuine apology and declaring his love, with him finally accepting her as his mum…

…until he started asking for money. Again.

Todays trip to the cobbles saw our diminutive dynamo ready to return to work and get cracking. Out of her prison duds and exploding back into the Chariot Square hotel dressed to kill, Debbie was on a mission to reclaim her pre-prison identity, and also to shuffle ten grand out of the hotel’s accounts and into Carl’s.

Carl was jittery, constantly bugging Debbie about the cash, and Ronnie’s hackles turned vertical when he learned about the amount of money his wife was preparing to hand over. As Carl became more and more uncomfortable with how much Debbie was willing to share with Ronnie, especially that the money was being used to pay off Fiona, Ronnie grew more angry and, once alone, he decided to seek the truth from the source.

With Debbie insisting that Carl work at the hotel to pay off his new debt to her, Ryan Connor’s (Ryan Prescott) nose was seriously put out of joint, having fired Carl previously. Approaching Carl and demanding he put in a shift that evening, the two males traded barbs, with Carl smugly declaring that he’d always come first with Debbie, and battling him would prove to be fruitless.

But battle Ryan did, and as they approached Debbie while at each other’s throats, Ryan was prepared to walk away, completely unable to deal with Carl, until Debbie offered to fatten his pay cheque.

As things got more heated, Ronnie returned and detonated the bomb that Fiona had handed him: Carl owes her £5,000, not £10,000. He spelt it out clearly as Debbie’s heart broke – Carl was using her to pay his debt, and line his own pockets.

Though Carl spluttered and scrambled, Debbie could take no more, hurting from yet another extortion attempt. She declared to Carl that they were finished as the scales fell from her eyes and shattered on the floor.

Inflicting yet another enormous wound on the only person who loves him in the whole world, has Carl lost his last lifeline? Could this have any bearing on the upcoming murder that’ll lessen Coronation Street of one of it’s many baddies?

Martin Fowler (James Bye) was a stalwart of EastEnders, and his death rocked the lives of nearly every Albert Square resident.

Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner), Martin’s true love with whom he’d reconciled moments before his demise was utterly broken; the loss of Martin eventually seeing her own departure from the Square.

Sonia Fowler (Natalie Cassidy) was forced to deliver the heart breaking news to Bex Fowler (Jasmine Armfield), the daughter she shared with Martin, while dealing with her own grief over losing her childhood sweetheart.

Ruby Allen (Louisa Lytton), a character intrinsically linked with both Martin and Stacey also left Walford amid her grief, while Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean) took an extended leave of absence, heading to Australia to support her grieving friend Michelle Fowler (Jenna Russell).

The loss of Martin was seismic, with residents gathering in Harry’s Barn to celebrate his life, mourning the death of a beloved EastEnders legend.

Speaking at the time of his alter-ego’s death, James said: ‘Saying goodbye is not easy, but after 10 years at EastEnders and on the night of the show’s epic 40th anniversary – the time felt right.

‘It’s an honour to leave on a story of this magnitude. A huge thank you to all the fans of the show – EastEnders wouldn’t be what it is without you – and to the BBC and EastEnders team for trusting me with this role for so many years.

‘This fruit and veg man will always hold a special place in my heart. It’s time to look forward, and I’m incredibly excited for what the future holds. RIP Martin Fowler.’

With Martin gone, a remnant of him does linger in Walford: his old shed, which Ross Marshall (Alex Walkinshaw) and Harvey Monroe (Ross Boatman) have big plans for: they want to turn it into a man cave.

Both previously formed a foursome alongside Alfie Moon (Shane Richie) and Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt) who vowed to provide a safe space to talk and now, Ross and Harvey plan to make that space tangible, but they need the key from Jean Slater (Gillian Wright).

When Ross and Harvey tell Zack Hudson (James Farrar) of their plan, he’s initially reticent, believing that it’s disrespectful to Martin’s memory.

When he talks to Barney Mitchell (Lewis Bridgeman), though, his son helps him to realise that Martin himself would’ve been fully behind the idea.

Zack approaches Jean and tells her of the groups plans for the shed and puts his all into persuading her that it’s a good idea.

The only problem? Jean turns around to find Ross and Harvey trying to steal the key.

As the shed renovation begins, Ross begins to open up, leading to the groups next issue…

The following article contains spoilers from the episode of Emmerdale dated April 3. It hasn’t aired on ITV1 yet, but can be viewed on ITVX.

The literal key to saving Moira Dingle (Natalie J Robb) from the rest of her life in prison is currently laying among the grounds of Celia Daniels’ (Jaye Griffiths) old farm in Emmerdale. The problem? No one knows about it.

Evil Celia was killed by her son Ray Walters (Joe Absolom) at the start of this year. He then buried her body on land belonging to Butler’s Farm. Right beside Celia’s shallow grave was another one, hiding refugee Anya’s body.

Ruby Miligan (Beth Cordingly), who knew Anya, began to suspect that the young woman was dead after a comment from Bear Wolf (Joshua Richards). She found the grave and called the police, but had no idea for a second that they’d discover another body in the ground.

As a result of finding the bodies on her farmland, Moira is facing a double murder charge. You’d think this was enough drama for Moira to come up against, but a plan created by Joe Tate (Ned Porteous) has meant she’s also potentially going to be sentenced for modern slavery.

Joe told Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley) to plant the ID cards from Celia’s house in Butler’s, which meant it looked like Moira had something to do with the horror that went on at Celia’s farm.

The issue Moira has is that no-one has any evidence to prove she is innocent, but that all changed in today’s instalment.

Paddy Kirk (Dominic Brunt) and Marlon Dingle (Mark Charnock) decide to head to Celia’s farm on their quest to confront their inner demons. Outside the house was a huge pile of furniture items, which Paddy and Marlon proceeded to smash up.

The episode focused solely on Marlon and Paddy, and explored how they were feeling about difficult situations in their lives at the moment. For Paddy, it was his upcoming trial and for Marlon, it was his fear that Rhona Goskirk (Zoe Henry) is going to leave him for Graham Foster (Andrew Scarborough).

We also saw the two men discuss how they handled the situation with Celia and Ray. Smashing chairs and tables to pieces was certainly a good way of getting their anger out of their system, but both Marlon and Paddy found talking honestly about their thoughts far more beneficial when it came to moving forward.

As they reflected on the torture that occurred at Celia’s farm, Marlon spotted a key with a label on that said ‘HSU107’. Due to the fact the police had already turned the place over, Marlon and Paddy concluded that the key probably wasn’t important.

But it was.

In central Hotten, we saw a storage facility and the contents of unit 107. It was completely packed full of paperwork – which will more than likely prove Moira’s innocence.

But with Marlon and Paddy believing the key isn’t important, no one else has any reason to go back to Celia’s farm.

How will they find it?

Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley) is going to face more than Joe Tate (Ned Porteous) based trouble in the coming months, as Kev Townsend (Chris Coghill) is returning to Emmerdale.

The character was introduced to us last year. He arrived in the village looking for Robert and when he eventually laid eyes on him, Kev made a comment that allowed us to discover he’s Robert’s husband.

Kev rocking up was so badly timed, as Robert had just got back on track with Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller). A flashback episode allowed us to learn that Kev and Robert tied the knot in prison after spending months developing a secret relationship.

As we got to know Kev, it became clear that the complex character had a possessive streak and was absolutely terrified about losing Robert. Behind bars, Kev had told Robert that he was dying, and also stabbed himself when he learnt about Robert’s attempt at appealing against his case.

Robert ended his relationship with Kev because he couldn’t continue pretending to be in love with him, while seeing Aaron. When reality hit Kev that he had lost Robert, he held him, Aaron and Liam Cavanagh (Jonny McPherson) hostage in Mill Cottage flat with a sword.

Kev headed out of the village but made a return towards the end of last year. He had been captured by John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth), who was busy creating a plan to get rid of Robert so he could be with Aaron.

Kev ended up alerting Aaron to the imminent danger and fled the Dales once more. Even though Kev is unpredictable and intimidating, fans of the ITV soap really enjoyed getting to know him.

The character is set to head back to the Dales in the not too distant future. When he arrives, it becomes clear Kev has been very busy as he’s launched a new business venture – and it’s set to stir up trouble for the locals.

Judging by the picture in this article, Kev appears to be starting a new pop-up café., It’s called A Slice of Kev-en, which honestly makes me want to get up off my chair and applaud.

As he gets settled back into Emmerdale, Kev will also have to decide whether or not to tell Lewis Barton (Bradley Riches) that he is his biological father.

Discussing the return, producer of the show Laura Shaw said: ‘Both Chris and the character of Kev made a massive impact on the show last year, so Chris is most definitely back by popular demand. With Kev’s son, Lewis, in the village still unaware of who his father is, it’s safe to say that there’s a lot of unfinished business and drama ahead.’

Chris Coghill added: ‘I’m really pleased to be returning to Emmerdale, I had a brilliant time last year. Kev is a complex character that I love playing.

The sweetest undertaker in Weatherfield, George Shuttleworth (Tony Maudsley) is determined to save Todd Grimshaw (Gareth Pierce) from the evil clutches of Theo Silverton (James Cartwright), and Coronation Street fans are here for it.

For months, poor Todd’s nightmare has seemed endless as his manipulate fiancée has subjected him to every kind of abuse imaginal – emotional gaslighting, sexual coercion, financial control and terrifying bouts of violence. This has all happened behind closed doors, with Todd’s nearest and dearest being oblivious to the danger he’s in thanks to the wholesome ‘perfect boyfriend’ image Theo revels in portraying.

Last night, that all came crashing down in flames.

The morning after their shotgun ‘wedding’, Todd was understandably feeling delicate and wanted to sleep off the kind of hangover you only get when you’ve just married the Devil himself.

However, Theo suggested they hit the bedroom for some ‘exercise’. When Todd gently rejected his advances, the raging egomaniac slunk out for a run with his tail between his legs… but not before making a nasty remark about Todd’s weight.

Returning from his run, Theo still wasn’t satisfied and gave Todd a barrage of vile abuse through the bathroom door. ‘I’ve just run off the bad mood that you put me in, you joyless little porker’. He spat. ‘FYI the old wounded bride routine, it’s boring my leg off. Are you going to look like a wounded hippo every time we fall out? Dearie me. I really am the luckiest groom in the world!”

When Todd walked through the front door, Theo’s face was a picture. But not as much as when George walked out of the bathroom door. He’d just popped round for a cuppa, and Todd had nipped out to get milk. It wasn’t Todd that Theo just gave a barrel full of verbal abuse too – it was George. The monster was finally exposed.

Caught, Theo tried to backtrack and dismiss his comments as banter. But George wasn’t buying it.

‘Funny, isn’t it?’ He mused, staring Theo right in the eye ‘You can go to bed with Doctor Jekyll, and wake up with Mister Hyde.’

Defensive, Theo ordered a conflicted Todd to defend him and explain it’s just banter, which did not go down well with George. ‘Stop telling him what to say!’ he barked at Theo, before assuring Todd that he was always here for support. ‘No need to tell me anything’. George promised. ‘You know where I live. Mi casa and all that.’

Later, George reported back to the closest thing Todd’s got to a daughter, Summer Spellman (Harriet Bibby), who is horrified to hear that Theo might be an abuser. The revelations from George make her reflect on the couple’s recent nuptials, where Theo led a blindfolded Todd into a wedding.

‘That wasn’t a wedding.’ George feared. ‘That was a kidnapping. Who did Todd have for his big day? Gary and Maria. He would have wanted us there! Me and you!’

Shaken, Summer wondered if George believes that Theo has actually hit Todd. ‘I’m afraid I do.’ George admitted. ‘I’m afraid I do. If he hasn’t already. Cast your mind back. Five or six months. Todd’s been over the shop. I’m sorry, love. I know this is a lot to put on young shoulders. But round here, we’re the only family he’s got.’ When Summer despaired over what they could do to protect Todd, George’s reply was simple. ‘Get him away from that monster’.

A nation full of Corrie fans cheered. Many of them took to the Metro Soaps Facebook page to cheer George on.

One user, Rosia D’alessandro wrote ‘George knows the signs as he got bullied and mocked in school in he’s younger days, I am so glad he was there.’ 

Thomas Merry commented ‘George is one of Corrie’s best characters played so well by an obviously talented actor…I like him with Christina too, she’s really grown on me.’

Some fans even guessed where the story was going, sharing theories that George and Summer will soon enlist the help of Gary Windass (Mikey North) , Theo’s mate and professional Coronation Street bad boy.

Mary Clarke Quinn wrote ‘Theo always has the upper hand. George and summer are no match for him they should tell Gary he won’t mess with him’

Kath Kilcommons agreed, sharing her own thoughts. ‘Sarah or Summer might tell Maria, and she tells Garry. He starts watching Theo with Todd, his actions and belittling him… That’s my theory anyway’

Recruiting Gary as an ally may be something of a double-edged sword. As Theo’s friend, mentor and employee on the building site, he’ll surely be livid to hear that someone he trusted so much is capable of such vile disgusting… and we know what happens when Gary gets livid.

Fans may remember that he’s already killed two people in the show. Unleashing the reformed wrong’un on Theo might make things worse.

Nevertheless. It’s a good theory. Will it come to pass?

The following article contains spoilers from the episode of Coronation Street dated March 25. It hasn’t aired on ITV1 yet, but can be viewed on ITVX.

George Shuttleworth (Tony Maudsley) is now very close to the truth about Theo Silverton (James Cartwright) in Coronation Street.

The beloved character has never been a massive fan of Theo, but knew Todd Grimshaw (Gareth Pierce) wasn’t going to leave him just because he thought he was bad news.

It’s all been about respecting Todd and not overstepping any boundaries, but that’s now getting increasingly harder for George to do, as he’s witnessed some situations involving Theo that have left him deeply concerned.

Yesterday, George and Christina Boyd (Amy Robbins) were taken aback to learn that Theo and Todd had reunited. They had split up because Theo decided they weren’t happy in their relationship. In the aftermath of this, as confused as Todd was about the sudden ending, he did try and move forward, which was recognised by George and Christina.

Theo wormed his way back into Todd’s life after forcing him to miss the marathon he had spent months training for. He took advantage of Todd’s vulnerability and asked for another chance, and Todd said yes.

To try and convince them both that he had changed, Theo decided to take Christina and George for lunch. In the Bistro, Theo spoke about how he’s going to do better in his relationship, and make more effort with those closest to Todd as well.

George and Christina listened, but couldn’t hide the perplexed expressions from their faces. In a quiet moment, they agreed to just play along, hoping that Todd would eventually come to his senses and realise he does deserve better.

Unbeknownst to them both, Theo was busy planning a surprise for Todd that would bound them together forever.

In today’s instalment, Theo rocked up to the funeral parlour suited and booted, ready for the big event. He took Todd away and led him to a registry office, where he revealed they were now about to get married.

Acting as witnesses to the wedding were Gary Windass (Mikey North) and Maria Connor (Samia Longchambon), who both thought Theo’s surprise was romantic and wonderful.

The ceremony was incredibly uncomfortable to watch. As Theo read his vows, which were an entire A4 page, Todd watched with horror in his eyes, but a smile on his face to prevent suspicion from rising.

Actor Gareth Pierce did an absolutely amazing job at portraying two contrasting energies. To those in the registry office, Todd was overwhelmed with Theo’s loving gesture but to us, Todd’s eyes revealed the real truth – this was a man trapped and screaming for help.

In the pub later, Gary and Maria told everyone to welcome in the newly married couple. It left the likes of George, Christina, Summer Spellman (Harriet Bibby) and Sarah Platt (Tina O’Brien) stunned, as they had to try and process their very close friend had got married without inviting them.

While most of Todd’s pals were happy for him, George and Summer couldn’t help but grow concerned. They found the whole thing bizarre, and it only added to George’s theory that something was seriously wrong.

Christina said to George that he’s talking as though Theo forced Todd to get married – and George was starting to wonder if this was true.

In tomorrow’s episode, George’s fear that Todd is in danger will grow even more when he hears Theo spouting vile abuse through the bathroom door.

Theo slips up by assuming that Todd is in the bathroom, and begins to attack his character. When Todd returns from the shop and George appears behind the door, Theo is quietly horrified.

Reality is hitting Daniel Osbourne (Rob Mallard) in Coronation Street that Megan Walsh (Beth Nixon) only began a relationship with him to cover up her abuse of Will Driscoll (Lucas Hodgson-Wale).

The truth about Megan was exposed last week in the ITV soap, when teenager Sam Blakeman (Jude Riordan) finally told Leanne Battersby (Jane Danson) why he had been struggling so much.

Unbeknownst to her, Sam was being manipulated by Megan into keeping quiet about her relationship with Will. Megan’s vile words eventually began to have a detrimental impact on Sam’s wellbeing.

The youngster had spent time in hospital after collapsing. At first, he refused to tell Leanne what was going on, but the determined character pushed for the truth when she spotted Megan speaking to Sam and grew suspicious.

Will’s step-mum Eva Price (Catherine Tyldesley) then found out and told Ben Driscoll (Aaron McCusker).

At the moment, the Driscolls are having a difficult time proving Sam’s claims because the police cannot find any evidence that something inappropriate took place between Megan and Will.

To make matters worse, Will remains in denial about what’s happened, and is continuing to leave voice messages for Megan, hoping she’ll return so they can be together.

At Weathy High School, teacher Daniel has been seen trying to reconnect with Sam and earn his forgiveness over not believing his comments about Megan.

The fact that he was so oblivious to Megan’s true nature begins to hit Daniel hard next week. While at the Barlow household, Daniel opens up to Ken Barlow (William Roache) and talks about how Megan used him as cover while abusing Will.

Ken listens, but can’t help feel concerned and how bitter Daniel feels.

In the week, Bethany Platt’s (Lucy Fallon) afternoon with Jodie Ramsey (Olivia Frances-Brown) in the Bistro is interrupted when a drunk Daniel has a pop at Bethany for her past behaviour.
